The Lucknow Bench of the Allahabad High Court on Friday reserved its order on the anticipatory bail plea of mafia-turned politician Mukhtar Ansari's MLA son Abbas Ansari in connection with an arms licence case.Â
The bail plea is being heard in the court of Justice D K Singh.
Moving the plea, Abbas had said he was innocent and victimised due to political vendetta. Â
Opposing the plea, the state counsel argued that the arms and cartridges recovered from him were made of metal, and metallic items are not used in sports.
The special MP-MLA Court on August 24 had declared him an absconder in the case.
It was alleged in the FIR that Abbas obtained a gun license from Lucknow and later he got it transferred to Delhi where he purchased many arms at the changed address. Â
Police had filed a charge sheet against him on December 24, 2020.
